Coolant Recommendations
Use Cobra Coolant (Aluminum Protection), P/N 931-0060. Cobra Coolant
does not contain reactive sulphur or chlorine and does not react with copper,
brass or aluminum.
The coolant flow rate should be a minimum of 15 GPH (1 qt/min) between
35 and 45psi. Contact the re-circulator manufacturer for specifications on
pressure.
Gun Lead Connections
Power Cable - Air Cooled
A #2 power cable is used on the Python LX Euro Compatible 7 Pin gun. The
gun and Euro Power Manifold ends of the cable are stripped to the copper
strands and wrapped with a copper strip. A setscrew holds the cable securely
in the gun body and in the Euro Power Manifold with torque requirements of
55-60 in-lb.
Power Cable - Water Cooled
Python LX Euro Compatible 7 Pin water cooled gun utilizes a power/water
cable with a #6 AWG cable inside a 5/16” diameter hose. When water is
used with this cable and the #10 water cooled gas cup (P/N 621-0065), the
system is rated at 450 amps @ 60% duty cycle. The gun end is threaded
into the gun body. These connections utilize a conductive sealant and are
tightened with torque requirements of 100 + 5 IN-LB.
Conduit
The Python LX Euro Compatible 7 Pin gun comes standard with a poly-
lined conduit, for feeding aluminum wire. The longer fitting with a shallow
groove is used on the gun end. A set screw located on top of the gun handle
secures the conduit in place. The cabinet end of the conduit is secured into
the Euro Power Manifold with a set screw.
Gas Hose
The BLACK gas hose is pushed over a barbed fitting on the end of the gun
body and secured by twisting the hose retainer to the end of the hose (shown
next page). The opposite end of the BLACK hose is pushed over a barbed
fitting in the Euro Power Manifold. The hose retainer is re-usable and can be
removed and re-installed as needed.
